Education

Carroll County High School juniors and seniors are gearing up for one of the biggest events of the year: the prom. Transportation is available for students who need a ride to the prom this year, which will be held out of town for the second straight year. This year’s junior/senior prom will be held from 8 p.m.-midnight Saturday, May 5, at The Prickel Barn in Verona, Ky.

The Carroll County Board of Education approved Jan. 25, the BG-3 for the improvements to Kathryn Winn Primary. The project will replace the HVAC throughout the building, windows and the roof. Ventilation for the roof also will be improved. The plans include alternates for upgrades to the systems.

The board also approved the construction plans and specifications to be submitted to the Department of Education.

Winn will be open during construction, and the project will take two summers to complete. The project is set to begin in April.

Join the Carroll County High School Future Farmers of America Feb. 17, for a night of fellowship and memories, as the current FFA chapter hosts a reunion. The event will be held from 5-7 p.m. Feb. 17, at the CCHS Ag shop.

No matter what year of your membership or your level involvement, you are welcome to come see the changes being made as well as help FFA to keep the history of its program strong.

There will be dinner, old chapter scrapbooks and yearbooks to look over, and a brief overview of the program from Mackenzie Wright.
